Warsaw, October 22, SPA -- Poland's opposition party was celebrating a bigger-than-expected win Monday after national elections, which saw the biggest voter turnout since the fall of communism in 1989. Preliminary poll results on Monday showed the opposition Civic Platform winning 41.2 percent of the vote, or 205 seats, in the lower house of parliament. It joined with the small Polish Presence party, which won 9.2 percent, or 36 seats. The Law and Order party took 32.2 percent of the vote, or 166 seats, and Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski conceded defeat, saying: "We didn't manage in the face of this unprecedented broad front of attacks."--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/492345
